5 GT Turbo Rear hub nuts

[Dan5Gtt]

Tomorrow morning i am replacing the rear brakes and bearings, just after a tightening torque for the rear hub nuts or are they just done FT......

Sounds like a question for @Mart or @Brigsy

175Nm if remember correctly and must be tightened off the ground & with no wheel fitted to prevent kinking/twisting on the shaft.

FT usually does the job.

I just double checked now I am at work & the book gives 160Nm for the hub nut.

Spot on, Thank you. All done now.

The only person I know on here that wouldnt just say "Just whang it up with a big breaker bar".

AND then checks that the numbers are right.

Fecking brilliant.
